I quit.

I no longer work in the retail chain pet store.  Management issues were already wearing me down and taking all of the fun out of the work environment, so after learning about our distributors and reading corporate's rebuttals, it's apparent that it isn't a suitable match any longer. 

Furthermore, after graduation I'm considering moving back down south to be closer to my family.  There are graduate schools in Mississippi and Alabama so it doesn't make a lot of sense to continue living 17 hours away from my people. But that's all a ways off in spring of 2009.

Hey there, just wanted to say HANG IN THERE. This is exactly what people mean when they say, "Let your conscience be your guide." Take pride in having done that, in having taken a stand. I'm confident you'll find a job that's a better match for you. Meanwhile, maybe some volunteering at your favorite animal shelter would be good for the soul? I'm betting the ARL could use someone with "small animal" expertise to offer care tips to customers! ~ Janet @ dmweblife
